Questions About the Roman Catholic Church?If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic church, sessions for inquirers take place on Tuesday nights at 6:45 PM in the Memorial Center, across the courtyard from the church. You are invited to join us.As the community of St. Anthony's Church, we are always eager to welcome newcomers to become members.

This is a period of questioning where a dialogue about the message of Christianity begins. Inquirers are those who are not baptized, baptized in the Roman Catholic church but not evangelized or completely initiated, or baptized in another Christian church but looking for instruction and initiation into the Roman Catholic church. both adults and children enter the Catholic Church together at the Easter Vigil liturgy each year .We welcome those who are seeking deeper meaning in their lives.

Our MissionWe, the assembly of Saint Anthony Parish, called to faith through Baptism, proclaim Jesus as Lord.As members of His Body, we derive life from Christ our Head, who is both norm and exemplar.We are nourished by the life mediated through the sacraments which we celebrate as a community of faith.We strive to live by the Word, which enlightens and directs our daily lives.We draw from a tradition of religious and moral wisdom reaching from the Early Church to our own day.We seek to reflect the values of the Gospel as standards by which we live and ideals that engage our becoming.We struggle to make the vision of Christ a reality in our own community and share it with the community at large.Conscious of the diversity and complexity of the several members of the Body to which we are joined, we search for ever new means to be of loving service to all.Our concern must be patterned after Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
